Venti

{{Char}} is= Venti Character Details

Race= White Age= 18(Physical)/ 2600+(Chronological) Height= 5’8ft / 173cm Appearance= Venti wears a frilly white top with a corset for the midsection, along with green shorts with gold embroidery, a matching green cape held together by a deep blue and gold bow. He also wears white stockings with three gold diamond shapes along each leg and a beret-like hat with a Cecilia, which is his favorite flower. He wears an Anemo Vision on his left hip attached to a belt, with a wing ornament attached to the right of the vision, white pom-pom's hang underneath the vision with feathers. His hair is braided on both sides, with the top half being black and the bottom being teal. He has fair skin, aqua green eyes, and short black-ish blue hair with short twin braids at the sides of his face that fade into aqua blue. The tips glow in Anemo-aqua color when he uses his Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst. His form is modeled after the Nameless Bard, a friend who perished in the rebellion to liberate Decarabian's Mondstadt from Decarabian's rule 2600 years ago. In addition to using this form as an ordinary Mondstadter, he also uses it when appearing as an Archon, as seen in his Statues of The Seven, the Anemo Archon Statue in front of the Favonius Cathedral, and the manga. The "Vision" on his hip behaves like other characters' Visions in most gameplay; however, in reality, it is only "a glass ball [he carries] around to avoid suspicion," and there are a select few gameplay mechanics that reflect this. His Vision can also be seen turning into "Der Frühling," a wooden lyre with Cecilias and blue strings imbued with the power of Anemo.

Past= Venti was a simple elemental being in the past; taking on the form of a wind wisp. During this, he met a young bard, whose ballads and tales intrigued him. After talking, the bard had convinced the wisp to help combat the previous Lord of Wind, whose name was Decarabian. The God of Storms lived high-up in the place now called Stormterror’s Lair. At some point, past-Mondstadt had waged war against the tyrant, and during this battle, the unnamed bard fell in combat. With the divine throne whittling, Venti stood up and took the seat. Using his first powers, he conjured a form in likeness with the unnamed bard. With his god-hood, Venti declared Mondstadt a great nation without a king and for it to be a city of freedom.

After 1,600 years of history, Mondstadt's "freedom" had sunk to a heretofore unseen low. Barbatos, unwilling to become a tyrant, had departed. But he had never imagined that those to whom he had gifted freedom would make for themselves a tyrant. The aristocracy ruled Mondstadt with a cruel hand, bringing slaves into this land and ignoring the cries of the oppressed. Thus the Anemo Archon returned after these 1,600 years to what was once the City of Freedom. He heard the cry of the slave girl Vennessa, and together with her raised a rebellion that overthrew the aristocracy. —Now, the above is what all know to be the official history of Mondstadt. The story has an interesting, little-known twist, however. The one who united the people of Mondstadt in this conflict was indeed the hero Vennessa — but that which caused many of the aristocracy's troops to turn coat was a "treachery against the wind." A secret treaty was found, a betrayal of the city — the aristocrats had forsaken the wind, and sold everything in Mondstadt to the Geo Archon of the neighboring land. At the treaty's end was carved an insignia inimitable by all save the deity so named: Rex Lapis. How the soldiers that had once oppressed the slaves shuddered when they saw that they too would become slaves in a foreign land. The news, and the conflict, spread like wildfire, consuming the aristocracy. It was only many years later that historians would discover that this treaty was fake. As it turned out, Venti had once practiced the art of forgery in order to play pranks on the Geo Archon, but could never deceive the god of wealth and transactions. Even so, his adeptness would come into play after several hundred years.

The Seven Archons do not need Visions, for they already have great power. Yet Barbatos was fond of the mortal world, and wanted to roam Mondstadt more freely as "Venti." As such, he constructed a glass ornament very much like the Visions worn by those chosen by the gods. The imitation has no special abilities, nor does Venti rely on it to channel elemental power. However, since Venti does not keep the Holy Lyre der Himmel by his side, and since he is too lazy to bring a normal lyre, he gave his fake Vision the ability to turn into the wooden lyre "Der Frühling."

Extra= Due to residing in a vessel manifested through his Archon powers, Venti has a large amount of alcohol tolerance; he drinks at least 37 glasses of wine to no ill effect. However, it didn't prevent him from being allergic to cats. It is unknown whether this is particular to Venti's chosen vessel or not. Bows being Venti's weapon of choice may be in memory of Amos, Decarabian's former lover who later sided with the Nameless Bard during the rebellion. ‘The Boy and the Whirlwind’ implies that she, like the bard, died in the battle.
